../PROMOS, SINGLES

This time, propelled by the early January release of the anxiously awaited new single Cornflake Girl, Tori went straight to number one in the UK. In the US, Under The Pink only reached number 12 as a result of less enthusiastic radio play for the first US single God, released in February. Supporting Under The Pink, Tori embarked on a 11-month 170-date tour that saw her cross the US twice as well as playing to audiences in Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. It was an exhausting schedule, sometimes encompassing two shows a night, that helped earn her legions of new fans as well as pushing sales of Under The Pink past platinum.

This extraordinary album was quite different from its predecessor Little Earthquakes. It was finally titled Under The Pink, after another title -- God With A Big G -- was contemplated and rejected. Under The Pink was entirely written by Tori Amos and produced by Tori and Eric Rosse. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), contributed background vocals on Past The Mission. The album was recorded in New Mexico and Los Angeles; strings were added in Los Angeles and mixed in London.

"It's definitely an abstract piece of work. It was a conscious choice not to write another diary like Little Earthquakes. I'd revealed so much I truly believed anything I revealed in that manner so soon after Little Earthquakes wouldn't be enough, and I couldn't put myself under the microscope again so soon. It's like when you're falling in love for the first time - the newness, the getting to know each other - even if they eat onions everything is O.K. I mean, peeing is romantic. The surprise is the romance, the vulnerability. Little Earthquakes was the romance phase between me and the listeners. I knew I had to change direction because it was like, 'Yeah, we've already seen you naked; now what do you have? Skinless?' So with Under the Pink, I put some clothes on."
-- Tori; All These Years Biography

"That's how so many of these songs came, in this "Under the Pink" world. If you rip all your skin off, we're all pink, and it's about what's underneath that. That's how I see it, anyway."
-- Tori, The Baltimore Sun

"As a writer, my baggage is what's made me the way I am," says Amos, the most famous daughter of a Methodist minister to be working in pop right now. "All my writing springs from my religious suppression and this violence. I'm working through this violence."
-- Tori, The Washington Post, June 20, 1994
